BURRILLVILLE â€” It was only fitting that two winless teams aiming to jump start their respective seasons â€” or save, depending if youâ€™re a pessimist or an optimist â€” engaged in a serious tussle in which the outcome wasnâ€™t settled until the dying seconds.
In the end, Lincoln proved to be a bit more resilient in an 18-12 win over Burrillville Saturday at Alumni Field. Kyle Jackson broke a 12-12 affair with 30.8 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the senior wideout hauling in a 36-yard pass that gave the Lions the lead for the first time.
